Diabetes interferes with fracture repair; therefore, we investigated mechanisms of impaired fracture healing in a model of multiple low-dose streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Microarray and gene set enrichment analysis revealed an up-regulation of gene sets related to inflammation, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling in the diabetic group, when cartilage is being replaced by bone on day 16, but not on...
